| Numbering System: | |||||||||
| The old section of the cemetery in the northeast corner has not been platted. This section is numbered | |||||||||
| section 99. To give some order to this section, I have numbered the graves starting at the northwest | |||||||||
| corner of this section, which is just east of the east/west drive furthest east, and at the east end of the | |||||||||
| iron fence along the road. The plot in the northwest corner of this section is grave number 1. Grave 2 is | |||||||||
| directly south of Grave 1, and the numbers run in increasing order running south to the end of this | |||||||||
| row, which is number 43. I then returned to the north end of the section and moved over one row to the | |||||||||
| east and started numbering this row with number 44. The numbers again run south in increasing order | |||||||||
| to number 86. I then moved over one row to the east and picked up from that point, and so forth and so | |||||||||
| on until I came to the east fence. There are 15 rows moving from west to east, with 43 plots running | |||||||||
| north to south. I have marked the locations of stones with a number shaded black. The numbers shaded | |||||||||
| red indicate there is no stone. Note though that evidence indicates there are bodies buried at almost every | |||||||||
| four foot increment all the way across this section of the cemetery, whether there is a stone or not. | |||||||||
| The plats or lots in Sections 1, 2 and 3 are in approximately 18 foot square blocks. Records indicating | |||||||||
| exact locations of bodies in these blocks were destroyed when the storage shed burned many years ago. | |||||||||
| There may be up to ten bodies in each block, and there is not a lot of order to the burials within the blocks. | |||||||||
| Generally, these blocks are divided between east half and west half. The blocks are generally ordered | |||||||||
| starting at the east end moving west, at or near the northeast corner of the section. When you get to the west | |||||||||
| end of that row, the numbers then move south one block and start back east again, until the west end | |||||||||
| is reached. This zig zag pattern is continued until the section ends at its south end. | |||||||||
| The plats or lots in Section 5 and Section 6 have more logical order than the older sections by the road. | |||||||||
| The blocks start at the northeast corner and run west to the west end of the section, then they go to the | |||||||||
| south and run back east in the zig zig pattern mentioned earlier. But the blocks themselves are in much | |||||||||
| better order. The blocks are twenty square feet, give or take a little bit. There are ten plots in each block, | |||||||||
| with two rows of five plots each (north to south) at the west end and in the middle of the block. The west | |||||||||
| end of each block contains a four foot buffer strip or walkway where there are no plots or bodies. | |||||||||
| Each section is marked with a small marker stone in the northeast corner. | |||||||||
| Each block in Sections 5 and 6 looks like this: | |||||||||
| 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | ||||||
| 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 20 | |||||
| 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | Feet | |||||
| 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | ||||||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | ||||
| Eight Feet | Eight Feet | Four Feet | Eight Feet | Eight Feet | Four Feet | ||||
| NORTH | NORTH | ||||||||
| The plots in Sections 4, 7 and 17 run from north to south. These are the sections to the east and to | |||||||||
| the west of the last north/south drive to the west and to the east of the cemetery. | |||||||||
| Section Nine is not laid out like Section Six. The lot numbers start in the northwest corner, near the drive, | |||||||||
| and run directly south to the south drive. These are lots one to six. Each lot has five graves, numbered | |||||||||
| from north to south. Lot number seven starts east of lot number one, and runs to the south drive to lot | |||||||||
| number twelve. Each row then moves over to the east of the previous row, with six lots of five graves in | |||||||||
| each row. Note also that the rows do not line up with the rows in Section Six. | |||||||||
| Section Eleven is laid out like Section Nine. | |||||||||
